It would be helful to know where the oil dipstick is located, where to put engine oil into the engine at, what type of oil is required, and how to accomplish that task.
Do not drive the car until you verify the following: 1. if you have oil in your engine. 2, if your oil sender is bad 3, if your oil pump is failing.
I don't know the Acura as they are not in the UK But it may well have safety device fitted that will not allow you to shift from park unless your foot is on the brake pedal. If this is the case, check that the brake lights are working, if they are not it may indicate a faulty brake light switch.
I have a 2000 RL and the code P0420 came up for bad CAT efficiency. Replace the CAT with a NAPA aftermarket unit. Lasted about a year and same problem showed up. Have talked to many people and mechanics that are know Acura's. The aftermarket unit was smaller in size and doesn't have the flow characteristics of the original. Heard from others that they eventually replaced the CAT with a Acura factory CAT and have had no more problems. I know.... about $700 more.
One indication of a bad sensor is when your speedometer bounces around, shakey, or jumpy.
i dont know how
The scan port is under a little rubber flap under the ash tray. It is easy to get to, IF you know where Acura hid it.
yes itll say bulb failure on the dash by the speedometer
i really need to know my car is acting up and we can not find the diagnostic port for it. they told me under the ash tray, sterring wheel, and glove compartment
Reasonable chance of an alternater and/or battery.
If your radio is locked and you DONT know the passcode then you need to call Acura....but if you do know the password...then you should enter it
The red light that came on when you pluged it in will go off
I have the same problem.... I had a friend that put it on a computer (they only cost around $50) and it told me that I had misfires in 5 of the cylinders which means I need a tune up.... Once I get the tune up I will let you know if they come back. i just replaced my trans on my acura tl type s , and what ur saying is exactly what happ to me my vsa light came on then my check engine light then my car was acting crazy n i needed a turq converter my transmission filter was clogging cause my 3rd gear was breaking down
